According to a report from the Department of Agriculture and Environment, Lam Dong currently has 966 irrigation works and irrigation systems of all kinds being exploited and used. These works play a key role in providing water for agricultural production, daily life, industrial activities, tourism and other economic sectors of the province.

Of these, there are 536 reservoirs, 255 dams, 13 sluice gates, 51 pumping stations and 91 temporary dams, along with a 3,632km long canal system and a system of dykes, sea dykes and river dykes.

Lam Dong aims to have irrigated farming areas reach over 73.45% of the total area requiring irrigation by the end of 2025; of which, the irrigated area from irrigation works will reach about 150,128 hectares. In particular, the province focuses on investing in advanced, water-saving irrigation solutions, with the target of reaching about 97,202 hectares.

Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment pointed out some difficulties in the management and exploitation of irrigation works and centralized water supply.

The province currently has 624 centralized rural water supply works in operation, providing clean water for daily life to 186,504 households. However, according to the Rural Water Monitoring and Evaluation Index, the rate of sustainable operation of works is only 27.08% (169/624 works). Meanwhile, the number of inactive works accounts for a fairly high rate, with 47.76% (298/624 works).

The Department of Agriculture and Environment also pointed out some difficulties in management and exploitation. Notably, the fact that many entities are involved in exploiting irrigation works and centralized water supply makes it difficult to unify the operating model and ensure compliance with regulations.
